Description:
We’re seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Buyer/Planner to support a growing parts business within a dynamic manufacturing environment. This is a highly visible role where you’ll play a key part in ensuring materials are available, orders are fulfilled on time, and internal stakeholders are aligned to meet customer needs.
If you enjoy problem-solving, working cross-functionally, and taking ownership in a fast-paced setting—this could be a great next step.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Manage and allocate materials from production lines to support spare parts orders
- Monitor and maintain safety stock levels to ensure product availability
- Coordinate and negotiate with internal teams to prioritize material needs
- Act as the “voice of the customer” to ensure timely and accurate order fulfillment
- Collaborate with manufacturing sites in Canada and Mexico (Spanish a plus)
- Handle a mix of emails, calls, and virtual meetings (MS Teams) to drive results
- Support procurement activities as needed (5–10% of role)
- Enter and manage purchase orders, work orders, and scheduling updates
What We’re Looking For
- 2–5 years of experience in a manufacturing, supply chain, or planning role (flexible for strong junior candidates)
- Experience with SAP and order/material planning preferred
- Strong communication and negotiation skills
- Proactive, outgoing personality—someone who isn’t afraid to pick up the phone and get things done
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and adapt in a fast-paced environment
- High school diploma or GED required; additional education or technical training is a plus
- Spanish language skills are a plus
Why You’ll Love This Role
- Hybrid schedule offering flexibility and work-life balance
- Opportunity to work cross-functionally and build influence across operations
- Exposure to international teams and supply chain processes
- Growth potential within a stable and expanding business segment
If you're looking to grow your career in supply chain, planning, or procurement within a collaborative and fast-moving environment, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today!
